Who Do You Think Are Florida Rep Allen West’s ’80 Communists’ In The House of Representatives?

If Florida Representative Allen West says there are 80 Communists in the House, then there are 80 Communists in the House! (Allen West is not talking about your garden-variety Barack Hussein Obama Communists; he is talking about actual members of the Communist Party!) But he leaves unanswered the very important question of WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY! You cannot just say there are Communists in the House and then coyly leave out who they are and what their Queen of Diamonds will be! We cannot restart HUAC all on our lonesome, we need brave and fearless leadership to restart it for us! Otherwise, the children will not be able to sleep in their beds for fear of being grabbed by 1952!

So who are Allen West’s 80 House Communists? Let us witch-hunt together, after the jump!

"It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works."

Clearly Allen West is experiencing "loss of essence."

The interesting thing is that, in the intervening 50 years, there's only been a net increase of 23 Communists from the original 57 spices spies.

That was a magnificent film, my girl Angela was fantastique and was only 32 or so when she played that lovely mother about 2 or /3 years older than Laurence Harvey as her son. That is fine screen acting, right there.

There are still commies afoot?

Kill a commie for mommy.

Living in a commie country as I do, I know commies gooder than most. Sorry editrix, Joan weren't not a commie. The original french fry yes, commie no.

SorosBot

You can still find communists in America – of course, they're all just college students out to shock people who will get over it in a few years.

As a black guy, you'd think that Rep. West would not really be wanting that.

Fare la Volpe

Uncle Ruckus would.

BTWBFDIMHO

But after the 50s come the 60s, and the 70s! Yes, back to LSD, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, L'Imagination au Pouvoir, mini-skirts e tutti quanti. No, wait.

Grace Slick for president!

Do we get Linda Ronstadt back?
Because that might make it worth the trouble.

Well, we did get Jerry Brown back, so maybe…

WELCOME BACK MY FRIENDS TO THE SHOW THAT NEVER ENDS

sullivanst

Just not the actual 50s with its progressive income tax and massive highway building programs and high rates of unionization in manufacturing.

The Conservapedia 50s where Ronald Reagan was President and there was no tax because Ayn Rand. But wimminz knew their place (except for Ayn Rand and Phyllis Schlafly, because they have honorary penises).

oldedinvn

They! Me too. I would love to be afucked up teenrager again.

SorosBot

Well that would mean top marginal tax rates of 90% and a liberal RINO in the White House.

Isyaignert

Agreed if you mean the 1850s.

GeorgiaBurning

They want the TV 1950's. That's what's been burned into them. Dad has a job at "the office", and comes home at 5 PM wearing a suit. Mom cooks dinner wearing a dress, heels and nice jewelry. The kids never cuss. There are no "gays", only people who are a little flamboyant. Money isn't an issue, gas is 15 cents a gallon. Everybody is a shade of grayish white and lives in a well-kept house on a street named after a tree. Also, every 15 minutes someone comes on and tells you how cigarettes are so wonderful. It's a total wet dream for these people.

clblabin

There are now two main groups of Republicans. There's the Santorum wing, which wants to take us back to the 50s, and the more moderate Romney wing, which is content to just go back to the 1950s.

DaRooster

Yep, wouldn't want to all work together for a common good… we should hate and shit on everyone that needs something… because hey, money!!

“I really wish that, standing here before you, was Allen West and President Obama,” West said. “We could have a simple discussion. But that ain’t ever gonna happen.”

Rep. Zhou carries his credentials on his iPhone 4s. NO need for cars these days.

Man0nTheStreet

Congressman Zhou Enlai is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life. And the propaganda campaign materials published by his PAC, We Love America, LLC, a wholly-owned division of People's Liberation Army Overseas Strategic Enterprises (Thanks, Citizens United!!) has entirely-truthful brochures to peruse…

Doktor StrangeZoom

Thank God someone's finally addressing this vital issue. Next, I hope Rep. West will pressure the administration to keep Quemoy and Matsu from falling into the clutches of the Red Chinese.

Dudleydidwrong

Which one of the 80 "lost China"? Maybe Allen West is confused about some of his wife's/girl friend's/ latest rent boy's dishes being misplaced.

widestanceromance

I "heard" that West raped and murdered a white girl, but I do not know if it is true or not.

What the fuck ever. The more the Conservative party fishes for followers with this type of rhetoric the more they push away the moderates. I think it's fucking great. ALL OF 'EM KATIE!!!!

Tail Gunner Joe and his Senate hearings resulted in a democratic sweep 1956 through the senate and house which lasted 40 years inbroken in the house and almost unbroken for 40 years in the senate.

ALL congresscritters who advocate reparations are communist socialists. You can draw a straight line from the reparations movement to the Kremlin and Peking Palaces. This is what Gen Rep Allen West is saying.

oldedinvn

I think reperatins of the inferstruckure is good for America. You sir are a commie.

Dudleydidwrong

Peking Palace? Shit! That means I can't go to that Chinese buffet without fear of being watched by Allen West. Here, Allen, have some fugu.

And then Allen West introduced the Precious Bodily Fluids Conservation Act of 2012.

You cannot just say that and …coyly leave out who they are

State representative Mae Beavers (R-TN) will have you know that what she does and/or doesn't know about the subjects of her legislatin's and objects of her accusations is beside the point.. Right after she finishes quizzing Allen West about his long-form birth certificate.

ChernobylSoup

I'm glad to see the Republicans going all out to shore up the Gen Y vote. Millennials HATE commies.

Hey, now that most people have realized that Muslim terrorists are no real threat to us again we need some bogeyman to keep the people scared and in line; why not bring back the last one?

HippieEsq

I'm waiting for the NY Times piece about the eavesdropping and surveillance equipment West boosted from the Army and has deployed in various offices around the Hill. He's not just bugged by Wasserman-Schultz…. He's bugged her!

(Politico will scoop this)

Allmighty_Manos

Someone should remind Rep. West that if this really was the 50's, his state wouldn't have even let him near a voting booth, not to mention Congress.

Man-on-Dog Rick is available is available to play Col Flag, now that Rmoney has smeared Santorum in order to glide to the nomination.

"…smeared Santorum in order to glide…" I think I just threw-up in my mouth; however, I do appreciate your eloquence.

Since 2010, the number of livestock molesters in the House is probably well above 80. But if their constituents vote them in, they have just as much right to be there as people who don't molest livestock.

elviouslyqueer

“I really wish that, standing here before you, was Allen West and President Obama,” West said. “We could have a simple discussion. But that ain’t ever gonna happen.”

“Why not?” an audience member asked.

“Cuz he was too scared!” West responded in a mocking voice.

Oh please, Allen. The only reason why Barry would even be remotely scared is from fear of dickslapping you so hard that it would send your glasses flying into orbit.

James Michael Curley

West would likely bring his interrogation gun to a Predator Drone fight.

godistwaddle

Would West were right. Communists have courage and ideas, both lacking in Democrats.

widestanceromance

I will believe this man's 50s fetish when I see him address the House floor in a poodle skirt.

YasserArraFeck

If this fuckwit really wanted to bring back the 50's, he's better get his overalls and mop, 'cos there's no way the southern whites would be listening to a nigra bloviating into a microphone. He'd be cleaning up the place afterwards.

widestanceromance

Apparently, being greeted by fire hoses and followed by police dogs gives him a feeling of nostalgia and dreams of a simpler and better time.

Actually, "everything you know is wrong" is a pretty good description of West.

This guy adds a whole new layer to bat shit crazy!

labman57

Disinformation 101: conservative pundits and politicians take turns making crap up and then proceed to cite each other ("There are stories out there that blah, blah, blah occurred/was said/etc.") as justification for propagating the fallacious stories.

This is what happens when your primary sources of "factual" information are right wing blogs and the local supermarket rags. Anyone can tell anyone anything about anything — it doesn't make it necessarily true.

And yet this is the clown that Palin and Cain think would be the ideal choice for Romney's running mate …

So in an effort to garner support from moderates and independents, the Republican nominee should choose someone whose claim to fame is a steady stream of irrational, inflammatory hyperbole that would put Bachmann, Gingrich, and Santorum to shame.

a_pink_poodle

We need a set of tribunals to ferret out these communists at all costs to our liberties and freedoms going as far as making accusations without any evidence whatsoever! I think I'll call it… Americanism!

http://dismalpseudoscientist.wordpress.com Deportably_Jose

Rep. Allen West is just saying this upfront, so that when the Capitol Building burns down under mysterious circumstances, we all know who to blame.

Tundra Grifter

I can not recommend too highly the documentary "The McCarthy Years" about Edward R. Murrow and Tailgunner Joe. It is absolutely outstanding!

Particularly relevant today is the speech by President Dwigt Eisenhower when he talks about in America we face our accuser. Given the ramifications of the Patriot Act, these are words well worth listening to and remembering.

As the conservatives do their level best to thrust us back into the 1950's, we all need to fully understand what that time and place really was like. Perhaps every six decades or so we have to go through this process, like a butterfly being born. Again.

OneYieldRegular

Eric Bentley's "Are You Now Or Have You Ever Been?" is also essential reading. Bentley merely took actual House testimony and constructed a play out of it. A public reading of it on the House floor seems like a pretty good idea to me right now.

Here is a top secret bit of information gathered from clandestine sources:
Allen West is a f-ing dick.

MadBrahms

" I’m here as the modern-day Harriet Tubman, to kind of lead people on the Underground Railroad, away from that plantation into a sense of sensibility.”

So the Democrats are running a plantation, which is also a Gulag, and Allen West is a woman, and he is going to lead the blahs to freedom, to Canada, maybe? Or New England? If he were any trippier, I'd be tasting that article.

George Spelvin

I missed that quote, which is a serious fucking insult to the memory of Harriet Tubman.

Wile E. Quixote

All he needs to do is bring up John Wayne like he did the other day so you could also have him drawing support from a racist draft-dodger.

Isyaignert

Let's see… in Communist China it is illegal to organize labor and who is it that wants to destroy labor in the USA? The Republicons of course; ergo, the Republicon party are the Commies.

But since it's about commies, there will be no commies there, unless some slut commie muscles his or her way into the hearing.

ttommyunger

All I need to know about Florida: Rick Scott and Allen West are elected officials there.

http://krisbunda.com/blog/index.php Designer_Rants

And that Rick Scott spent $75million of his own money buying a job that will NEVER pay him more than a small fraction (legally) of that fortune back. I don't think anyone can explain that to me in terms I can understand.

ttommyunger

Maybe it opens opportunities for huge grift. Governors have been known to benefit richly from the inside information they possess, i. e. : Georgia's Sonny Perdue and his land deals.

http://krisbunda.com/blog/index.php Designer_Rants

Still doesn't make sense to me, cuz usually people who graft are poor-ish, and want to use the influence office to enrich themselves. This guy already HAD at least $75mil to throw in the gutter. Maybe it's just as simple as he is addicted to being "top dog" at an organization, and since his former company was left with the "Largest Medicare Fraud Case Ever", he prolly wasn't welcome at the helm there, or many other large corporations. And managing the Subway sandwich shop down the street wasn't prestigious enough. So he went with…. Florida. No matter what, he was gonna be Top Dog of Florida.

ttommyunger

Maybe he'll be top dog at a Federal Pen one day.

Mandatory drug testing for everything-owns clinics that do drug testing (oops, sorry. He doesn't own them anymore-his *wife* does! No conflict of interest here, folks!

Please. If there were 80 commies in the house, we would have gotten single payer health care. We should be so lucky.

I thought Republicans supported the reds now, since GWB came up with the expression 'Red State'.

I’ve heard that at least one Congressman from Florida is a total idiot.

Do you have a list of that Congressman in your hand?

greenide1

Ward, I'm worried about Florida. I think there must be some kind of BP-induced hallucinogenic in the water. Or maybe a big cloud of crazy has floated over from Cuba. Seriously. Can we stage an intervention?

reasonbran

Oops, just learned that this was a partial quote and taken out of context. West was being a smart-ass, he didn't mean it literally. Ergo my deleting my prior post, ergo this note to myself: remember not to take videos at face value.
